I'm already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how come you're only Martial Saints?

Ning Chen nodded, about to say something.

But then Monkey King scratched his cheek, and Thunder God's face was full of resentment, his voice rising a few decibels.

"Junior brother, it's the reason why the Ancestral Master expelled me that I find hard to accept. Those three eyes were clearly aimed at your Tai'a sword! Yet the Ancestral Master insists on blaming me! Saying that I caused trouble for no reason, and that someone came knocking on my door? I feel so wronged!"

He then explained.

"I'm not blaming you, but this matter is really bothering me!"

Seeing his senior brother's frustrated expression, Ning Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

He comforted Monkey King.

"Senior brother, don't be angry. The time has come. The Patriarch has his reasons for wanting you to go down the mountain. The matter of Yang Jian is just an excuse for the Patriarch. Besides, this is actually a good thing!"

Monkey King stared wide-eyed, quite puzzled.

"Oh? That's considered good? Then what would be considered bad?"

Ning Chen suppressed a laugh, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said in a serious tone.

"Think about it, senior brother. If tomorrow the Patriarch sees you step into the lecture hall with your left foot first, and uses that as an excuse to say that you are disrespectful to your elders and walk frivolously, and then expels you from the sect, wouldn't you feel a hundred times more aggrieved?"

"He stepped into the lecture hall with his left foot first, and was expelled from the sect?"

Sun Wukong's golden eyes widened in disbelief, his monkey face filled with disbelief.

"This, this is a reason? I don't care about that when I walk, I just step with my left foot first, then my right!"

The monkey scratched its head, finding the statement utterly absurd.

But he also had a vague feeling that, judging from the patriarch's performance today, it seemed that what his junior brother said might not be impossible.

The monkey carefully pondered Ning Chen's words, and the resentment it felt from being expelled from the sect by its master gradually dissipated.

His bright, monkey-like eyes gradually revealed a sudden, enlightened understanding.

"I see, I understand now!"

He suddenly slammed his golden cudgel down.

"The patriarch himself wants me to leave the mountain! Whether or not he has the three eyes, it doesn't matter! I'm leaving anyway!"

Having figured out the key points, Monkey King felt as if an invisible boulder had been lifted from his heart.

The suffocating and uncomfortable feeling in his heart dissipated by most of it, but a little bit of sourness welled up again.

Ultimately, the patriarch's favorite was still his own junior brother!

Forget it, my junior brother is both my teacher and friend, why should I be jealous of him!

The monkey let out a long breath, its golden eyes regaining their brilliance, and it seemed more relieved.

He pretended to be relaxed, slung the golden cudgel across his shoulder, and grinned.

"Very well! If they won't keep me here, there are plenty of other places that will! Junior brother, I'm leaving now! Take care of yourself! Come visit me at my Flower Fruit Mountain sometime!"

"Yes! Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will definitely go and bother you!"

Ning Chen cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said earnestly.

Without another word, Monkey King turned around and leaped into the air, a cloud appearing out of thin air beneath his feet!

Seeing that Monkey King was about to use his somersault cloud, which could travel 108,000 li in one leap, Ning Chen couldn't help but speak up and give him a word of advice.

"Wait a minute, senior brother!"

Sun Wukong stopped riding the cloud and turned to look at him.

Ning Chen looked serious.

"Senior brother, if any of those seventy-two demon kings from the Seventy-Two Caves come to you seeking refuge, saying they want to become sworn brothers and raise a banner together, remember not to pay them any attention!"

He paused, then emphasized his words.

"Those guys are mostly bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong, sycophants! Especially those so-called Great Sage of the Overturning Seas, Great Sage of the Chaos, Great Sage of the Roc, Great Sage of the Moving Mountains, Great Sage of the Wind-Changing Monkey, and Great Sage of the Exorcising Gods, Yu Rong. They sound impressive, but they're all show and no substance. When trouble comes, they just hide in the back. Once a fight breaks out, they'll run away faster than anyone else! And..."

Ning Chen's face showed a hint of disdain.

"Especially that one at the head, the old bull who calls himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven! He's the most cunning and treacherous of them all. He looks imposing on the surface, but in reality, he can't even protect his own cave. Someone took advantage of his weakness, and he's a fool who's been cuckolded! Senior brother, you must never get too close to such a cowardly, unrighteous, and incompetent fellow!"

As Sun Wukong listened to Ning Chen recount these titles of Great Sages that he had never heard of before, he was particularly struck by the last part about wearing a green hat, which made Sun Wukong blink.

Although he didn't quite understand the specific meaning of his junior brother's words, he knew from Ning Chen's disgusted expression that they were definitely not nice words.

He nodded solemnly, keeping Ning Chen's admonition firmly in mind.

"I understand! Thank you for reminding me, Junior Brother! These irresponsible and despicable scoundrels, no matter how famous they are, can forget about climbing up to my Flower Fruit Mountain!"

"Wait a minute, senior brother!"

Seeing that Monkey was about to leave again, Ning Chen grabbed his sleeve.

"There's one more thing: if an old white-bearded man descends from the sky, claiming to be Venus, and invites you to become an official in heaven, remember not to pay him any attention!"

Upon hearing this, Monkey King's golden eyes widened, his monkey face filled with disbelief.

"Me, a wild stone monkey from the mountains, recruited as an official by the Heavenly Court? How is that possible?"

He scratched his cheek, shook his head, and laughed.

Ning Chen said seriously.

"Senior brother, what I said is no joke!"

"That old man may seem kind and benevolent with white hair and a youthful face, but he's actually a master of deception, his words are perfectly shrewd. The title 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven' sounds impressive, but it's actually a trap he's set! Those gods and Buddhas, though full of compassion, are nothing but poisonous schemes!"

His voice suddenly lowered.

"You agreed the moment before, a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals pressed in, and that three-eyed one, ruthless and merciless, slaughtered all your monkeys and grandchildren on the mountain!"

Upon hearing Ning Chen's words, Monkey King's eyes widened and he scratched his head in bewilderment.

"I knew that three-eyed guy was a scoundrel, he was up to no good!"

Seeing that Monkey King had taken his advice to heart, Ning Chen felt a little relieved.

He then took out two more secret manuals from his bosom and stuffed them into Sun Wukong's hands.

"Senior brother, these are copies of the Nine Yang Manual and the Nine Yin Manual."

Sun Wukong looked down and saw that the book's cover was simple and ancient, vaguely revealing profound mysteries.

"This is?"

"This is the foundation of the Hunyuan Yin Yang Creation Scripture martial arts that your junior brother taught you before!"

Ning Chen explained.

"After you return to Flower Fruit Mountain, you may choose a monkey with a pure heart and decent physique to teach this skill. It will strengthen your muscles and bones, and you will be able to protect yourself in the future. But remember..."

He emphasized.

"Never allow the same monkey to cultivate two disciplines simultaneously! Nine Yang is pure hardness, Nine Yin is ultimate softness; water and fire are incompatible. Cultivating both will inevitably lead to qi deviation, destruction of meridians, and even endangering life!"

"Unless this monkey possesses your talent and aptitude, Senior Brother!"

Sun Wukong sensed Ning Chen's good intentions towards the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain.

He felt a warmth in his heart and solemnly agreed.

"Yes! Don't worry, Junior Brother, I understand! I'll definitely teach them separately so the children can practice properly!"

Seeing Ning Chen's lips move slightly, it seemed he had a thousand words to say.

Sun Wukong felt that the sorrow of parting in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

He suddenly took a step forward, stretched out his hairy arms, and gave Ning Chen a tight hug!

"Junior brother!"

Monkey King's voice carried a barely perceptible hoarseness and choking.

"I know you're worried about me, junior brother! But we must eventually part ways! All good things must come to an end!"
